Installation

WARNING: Shock Hazard! Only qualified, licensed personnel should install pump and wiring. A professional trained and familiar with pool

pump installation must perform pressure tests.

TOOLS REQUIRED

Wrench

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

The pump mount must be located away from corrosive or flammable chemicals. Do not connect the pump to a municipal water system. The

pump is only designed for pool or spa installation. The pump must be installed with at a minimum of 2 main drains equipped with certified

anti-entrapment covers that comply with ASME/ANSI A112.19.8B standard (see Figure 2). All air must be removed from piping system

before operating or testing equipment (see filter manual).

THREADED CONNECTIONS

Use only Plumber's Seal tape or equivalent on threaded plumbing connections. Other pipe compounds may damage threads. Do not use

silicone or petroleum based compounds.

PUMP PLUMBING

Suction pipe should be as large as or larger than discharge pipe. Avoid using a suction pipe smaller than pump connection.

Larger diameter pipes reduce noise and improve performance.

1. Keep the piping as straight and short as possible, and of suitable size.

2. Avoid connecting an elbow directly into the pump inlet. A length of straight pipe will allow proper entry of the water to the pump.

3. Slope horizontal runs upward to the pump to prevent trapping air.

4. Use independent piping supports to reduce strain on the pump.

5. Keep as much of the suction line as possible below the water level to reduce priming time.

6. Install valves and unions in the pump suction and return lines to facilitate servicing. Valves are also essential for pump maintenance if

the system is installed below pool water level.

7. Keep all valves fully open during operation. Partially closed valves waste energy!

Use Plumber's Seal tape for making threaded connections to the pump. Do not use pipe dope.

PLUMBER'S SEAL TAPING INSTRUCTIONS

Use only new or clean PVC pipe fittings. Wrap male pipe threads with one to two layers of Plumber's Seal tape. Cover entire threaded

portion. Do not over tighten. If leaks occur, remove pipe, clean off old tape, rewrap with one to two additional layers of tape and remake the

connection.

FITTINGS

Fittings restrict flow; for best efficiency use fewest possible fittings. Avoid fittings which could cause an air trap. Pool fittings must conform

to International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) standards. Use only non-entrapping suction fitting or double

suction.
